I think Big Dogs’ reputation is built on having a bit of a comic flare to their products. So if they made something serious it probably wouldn’t sell.

If it was MY design, I would have made a huge chihuahua barking down at tiny little Vick. Caption would read, “Now who’s laughing?”

This way the point’s made and there’s a little comedy in their to entice people to buy [and send the message about Vick].

And Big Dogs - if you like my idea - run with it.

I like Big Dogs t-shirts, etc. But personally, I would rather see a less comic design on the shirts, such as Big Dogs and Real Men don’t fight dogs. This is such a serious issue, and every opportunity should be taken to speak out against dog fighting, not just poke fun at Vick going down.

I know that Delta Society is one of the org’s it donates to.

I’ve sent a message to Big Dogs and put the question to them. I’ve invited them to add their reply here.

Here’s what bothers me -

A portion of the proceeds from the new shirts will be given to the Big Dogs Foundation

Well, what’s a portion? Ten percent? Ten cents? A dollar?

I’m tired of seeing companies hop on the Vick train, using the suffering of these dogs to generate profits for themselves.

Unless I read “100% of the profits go to”, I just see one more profiteering company using a tragedy to make money.

Kinda like PeTA and the HSUS, come to think of it.

I just saw those shirts this weekend in Tilton NH. Had I known that some of the proceeds were going to a worthwhile organization, I would have bought one. Good for you Big Dogs!

Any proceeds for dogs that need help is a good thing and if I could buy one of the T-shirts locally, I will. Critics will always find something to bitch and THEY need to put THEIR money where there mouth is.
